1996 dodge 5.9 SCT

If I purchased an SCT tuner for my 96 5.9 would anybody as able to give some pointers on it? I'm clueless on tuners

I dont think SCT works on 1996 trucks, I think 1997 was the first year. I think your limited to Mopar PCM.... Great upgrade though.

I have a 97 pcm on it and a 97 motor

Ohh in that case, just email shawn and get a tuner haha. X3 is the new model, costs $450 with tunes IIRC. Just plug it in the OBD port and follow on screen prompts.

Is there a limit on how many tunes I can get?

No, John, if the 96 is OBDII, you can run it. 96 was a crossover year for OBDI/II. 97 was the first full year for OBDII.

JB, since you have a 97 pcm, you're totally good. The amount of tunes you're limited to is only your willingness you possibly fry your PCM. Repeatedly writing and rewriting data to the PCMs, it stresses them and in some cases can cause them to not be writable anymore. That is on the PCM side

On the tuner side, it doesn't care how many tunes you change over, however, SCTs are (or have been, anyway) limited to 3 "Return to Stock" settings.

lol The tuner will need the part number off any PCM you use. Probably something you don't want to go through.

If you use Hemifever, he'll need the part number off your PCm to do his tunes since there are differences in the stock tuning depending on the PN.

Oh OK so its gotta be for 1 specific pcm.
